Congrates on the new bike However, you better have a big garage if your going to buy bikes that can beat you, there are alot out there

Well said. I never purchased my Street Rod to race or take our on the drag strip, I purchased it because I was drawn to the looks the mystic and it's still no slouch in the performance arena.

That said, after riding the Griso, I really enjoyed it. It is my no means a hard core racer ala GSX, BMW RR or a hooligan machine like a Street Triple or Z1000. It's more a of the Brits would say " PROPER performance machine". Mostly I like how light weight and well balanced it was. It makes for a very good urban motorcycle. I live in Monterey, and the streets are small and crowded (tourist traffic) we are also blessed with good back country roads, and the Griso performs well on those too.

Again, I love my R, and well probably start to tune it as per "Philthy" guidance, he gave me some real good pointers. I think both bikes compliment each other. I am a happy camper.

I pick the Griso up this weekend. For those interested I will post a review and a video on youtube if the demand is present.

No. I been looking for bike number 2 for quite sometime. Just perfect timing.

Stopped by the dealership today to pick up something for the Triumph before going and riding the moutains and a friend of mine came a cross a used one, LOves it and might just be buying it next week. But since He rode my Scrambler today for 110 miles he is now leaning towards the Scrambler.

I always liked the scrambler. Never ridden one. If you come to Monterey, hit me up. We will put the Griso and Scrambler througha good run

V-Rod really isn't that fast unless you compare it to other HDs or cruisers. I came off a Ducati Streetfighter, tuned to 165hp at the crank and a little over 400# wet. The V-Rod feels like a snail after riding the Duc for the last time. But, for a huge power cruiser, it is still the bomb. I live 300+ miles from the nearest curve (well, that's almost true) and the V-Rod is much more enjoyable overall on the roads I ride, even if it isn't nearly as powerful or quick. What I do miss more than the power or handling is the braking actually.

I was under the impression that the V-Rod was one of the fastest stopping bikes ever built? Have I been mislead? The chart I saw had it way up at the top in 60 to 0 times.

The long low chassis gives it massive stopping grip, but the front end geometry makes it hard to judge. The brakes are old tech too. Conclusion : abs equipped bikes stop very fast, non ABS bikes are way too easy to crash. Wish I had ABS. There's also the question of training - every time braking is discussed on here thete is a vast shitstorm of rubbish from people who urgently need to do a track day.
If ever a bike needed abs, it is the v-rod, so full marks to Harley for offering it quite early, before it became normal.
